Bedulu Resort-One Of The Best Places To Stay In Amed, Bali
Are you looking for places to stay in Amed, Bali? The Bedulu Resort is a true haven which impressed me from the moment that I arrived. I arrived hot and sticky from the boat over from the Gili Islands and walked up the few steps to the open air restaurant which doubles as a lobby for the hotel. I didn’t have to walk many steps before I was greeted by three smiling Balinese faces (their smiles just melt by heart) who rushed towards me to take the bags from my hands and help me up the stairs. I was led inside and told to sit where I was then greeted…

They’re Coming To America-Why This Neil Diamond Song No Longer Holds True
“Coming To America”. I remember dancing to this Neil Diamond song in my childhood over and over. My sisters and I would put on what we considered our most patriotic dress up clothes which consisted of some tube tops covered in sequins, or crazy hats, and dance and sing our hearts out to this record over and over again.

I stayed in the Passiflora one, and the minute I got there, I felt an extreme sense of peace settle in my being, the weight of the world being lifted from my shoulders, and knew that all of the yoga that I…

Pictures From Ubud, Bali
Ubud, Bali is the place that stirs my soul and touches my heart in a way that no other place on Earth does. And it doesn’t even have a beach. Is it the gracious and smiling people? The beautiful rice fields with their colors of electric green, dancing fireflies, butterflies, and chirping crickets? Is it the spiritual energy in the air where everyone seems to know their place in the world? Is it the misty mornings, the shining rainbows, or the scented air which smells of frangipani, sandalwood incense, and coconut oil. You decide!

Billy Pendawa Homestay-Kuta, Bali
Searching for places to stay in Kuta, Bali can be overwhelming. You definitely have many hotels in Kuta to choose from. Kuta is a very busy area, so it’s nice to find a haven where you can relax and be away from all the traffic. I found such a place at Billy Pendawa Homestay. It is located down a really cute gang or alley very close to the airport. It was nice staying with a local family. I felt very looked after and cared for. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and are very much like hotel rooms in the sense that you have your own bathroom. I loved…
